Description
Reflections in a Singapore Mirror
Since its opening in 1887, the Raffles Hotel has played a major role as a transit and meeting place for a steady stream of Empire-builders and illustrious personalities. It survived the humiliation of wartime occupation with dignity and shed its colonial aura to keep pace with Singapore's progress and sophistication as a nation.
All the stories in Romancing the Raffles are set in, or related to the world-famous Raffles Hotel. This collection of stories will appeal not only to the 'old brigade' of Singaporeans, but also to the increasing number of young romantics seeking a scent of bygone Singapore.
The characters and events are fictitious; but from the way the stories are told, they could quite easily suggest otherwise.
